Net Session Command Does Not Interpret Redirected Input

 Last reviewed: June 12, 1995
Article ID: Q131389
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5 and 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51

SYMPTOMS

If you create a batch file (for example, TEST) that contains a carriage return and linefeed character, and you direct this file to the NET SESSION command as follows, 

   NET SESSION /DELETE <TEST
the command will request a response with the statement, 

   Do you want to continue this operation(Y/N) [Y]
but then it will return the error: 

   No valid response was provided.
0D 0A (carriage return and linefeed) are valid characters.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, add the /Y parameter to provide the default Yes response. For example: 

   NET SESSIONS /DELETE /Y
The /Y parameter is not documented at this time.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.1, 3.5, and 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
